Paul Robertshaw, from RJR Custom Drums, told us a bit about his drumming history and what his business has to offer you...

"So I’ve been playing drums on and off for around 30 years. I started lessons at school at 11 years old, and started messing around taking drums apart and “customising” them almost straight away. I’ve refurbished kits and painted and wrapped shells for fun for many years now, but started doing it professionally a little over 2 years ago, and haven’t looked back.

"Working from my home workshop, we offer a full customisation service for your drum kit, from converting hanging toms to floor toms, custom hardware, wraps to match any design or finish, to a full custom wrap with printed reso head to match.

"We also refurbish kits and hardware, from a basic tune up to a full strip down and deep clean, and sell refurbished kits, drums, hardware and cymbals…"

Paul will be joining us at One Day Drum Shop on Sunday 10th February, so come along and have a chat to him about your drum customisation needs, and see the gear he has for sale!

We’re massively excited to be bringing One Day Drum Shop to Reading in February 2019.

​Sunday 10th February to be exact.

"One Day Drum Shop" is the brainchild of Dave & Sophie at Dave’s Drums.

Dave used to work at DrumWright in Woodley, leaving about a year before its closure in 2016. Since the loss of DrumWright, many people have asked whether Dave's Drums will be opening a bricks and mortar store to fill the gap.

The answer to this is “no” (sorry!), but we’re aiming for the next best thing - we think!!

Our vision is a series of “pop up shop” type events for drummers in the Berkshire area (and further afield - all are welcome!), populated by local independent drum retailers (initially Dave's Drums & RJR Custom Drums), bringing customers the opportunity to browse a selection of both pre-loved & new drum gear.
